    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This book describes fundamentals of the superconducting state and latest developments in the field. It represents the state of the art status of the theory, and key experiments for both historically important conventional superconductors and novel technologically significant superconductors.

    Long description:

    'Superconducting State' provides a very detailed theoretical treatment of the key mechanisms of superconductivity, including the current state of the art (phonons, magnons, and plasmons). A very complete description is given of the electron-phonon mechanism responsible for superconductivity in the majority of superconducting systems, and the history of its development, as well as a detailed description of the key experimental techniques used to study the superconducting state and determine the mechanisms. In addition, there are chapters describing the discovery and properties of the key superconducting compounds that are of the most interest for science, and applications including a special chapter on the cuprate superconductors. It provides detailed treatments of some very novel aspects of superconductivity, including multiple bands (gaps), the "pseudogap" state, novel isotope effects beyond BCS, and induced superconductivity.

    In this new edition, the superconducting properties of conventional and high Tc superconductors are presented in detail and basic theories to explain the phenomenon discussed. The comprehensive nature of detailing most properties of both material classes provides essential insight into this complex matter, and thus it may well serve as a textbook, limited to the most important objectives in the field. The book is highly recommended for all researchers and students working or interested in solid state physics with special focus on the general aspects of superconductivity.
